ACCESS intends to award an independent evaluation firm for evaluation services listed in the Subgrantee Evaluation Plan for Years 3-5 of the project.

Each year’s renewal shall be subject to the annual review and recommendation of the project director.
Basis for selection: Size of firm, number of staff available to work on project, turn around time, reputation and experience of firm and staff, and cost of all evaluation services.
ACCESS receives the right to reject any and all proposals submitted and to request additional information from all proposers. Any contract awarded will be made to the firm that is determined to be the best qualified to the evaluation.
